Whether we’re ready for it or not, winter is on the way. I was in beautiful, sunny Florida last week & they were experiencing record high temperatures so it was a little tough to step off the plane back in Saskatchewan to -3 weather. We don’t have any snow yet so that’s nice – nothing to shovel yet! As the weather gets cool, I’m trading in my ice cream comfort food for warm choices like these Egg Stuffed Potato Skins.

Egg Stuffed Potato Skins

Comfort food doesn’t have to be unhealthy. Did you know that one local, fresh Canadian egg provides 14 important nutrients including vitamins A, D and E, folate, iron, zinc and choline? They are an excellent choice for a comfort food because they are both delicious & nutritious! When you buy Canadian eggs, you know you’re buying fresh, quality product because, thanks to supply management, Canadian Egg Farmers follow strict, details procedures for food safety & farming practices.

Egg Stuffed Potato Skins:

I found this delicious Egg Stuffed Potato Skins recipe on the Eggs.ca website & just changed it slightly to add more sour cream, bacon, and cheese because my potatoes were large. They were so tasty! I shared with a friend & her family and they were a big hit over there too.

    What do I love about eggs? I love their versatilty. There are so many things you can make and do with eggs. You can have them on the side as part of a meal (scrambled, sunny side up, poached) or make a complete meal with them (kishe, omlette). You can have them for lunch, breakfast or dinner. Cook with them, bake with them or use them as a decoration. The egg is the best food to “play” with.

    I absolutely love eggs scrambled, poached, hard boiled. You name it!
    It’s a much easier way for me to get protein as opposed to cooking red meat since I only cook for 1 most of the time.

    I love the taste of eggs mostly. But I also love how versatile and healthy they are. We have them for breakfast a couple of times a week, but more often we have them for lunch or dinner. My husband is the omelette KING !! If I have had a long day or am tired he always makes me an omelette <3 And who doesn't love a frittata ? We are eating less and less meat all the time, so eggs are a great way to get protein and variety into our diet. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway 🙂

    Eggs are my go to ingredient and meal… When I was young and poor (while in university), they were a cheap meal and good source of protein. I still love them for their versatility as an ingredient: you can use them in baking, in savoury dishes and on their own. They are also full of protein and nutrients and soooo delicious!
